“Hang up and drive” (driver safety slogan)

“Shut up and drive” is an old saying about what a passenger might say to a driver (especially of the opposite sex). “Hang up and drive” is an anti-cellphone driver safety slogan that has been printed on many images (especially bumper stickers).
   
“Hang up and drive” was printed in the Southern Illinoisan (Carbondale, IL) on September 3, 1987. “A popular California bumper sticker reads: ‘Hang up and drive, buddy’” was printed in Newsday (Long Island, NY) on November 13, 1988. “Bumper sticker spotted on the car of a determined-looking commuter on Highway 40: ‘Hang Up & Drive’” was printed in the St. Louis (MO) Post-Dispatch on December 6, 1996.

My four year old son sings Rhianna’s, “shut up and drive.” Catchy tune. I made him change the lyrics to, “hang up and drive.” We laugh : )
